Meet the adorable triplets born at Milton Keynes University Hospital
Triplet boys have been successfully delivered at the city hospital – without even needing to go into special care.
Babies Jesse, Jordan and Jerome are the first triplets born at MKUH to be cared for through its Transitional Care service and without needing admission to the neonatal unit.
This meant that the newborns were able to remain with their mum throughout their entire hospital stay.
The milestone comes as Transitional Care marks a successful first year at MKUH, with the triplets’ mum Jacqueline becoming one of the first to benefit.
The family's journey began antenatally with Jacqueline and proud dad Philip being cared for by expert teams to plan their babies’ care. This included personalised tours, discussions about care pathways and access to helpful resources to prepare them for the arrival of their babies.
Supported by our specialist neonatal and maternity teams, Jacqueline and Philip welcomed their boys at 35 weeks, weighing 2.140 kg, 2.300 kg and 2.370 kg.
The triplets received specialist feeding support and our team created a special space to keep them close to their parents while in hospital.
Jacqueline said: “I’m so grateful for all the support I received, and I have profound gratitude for my midwife, Lisa, and the medical teams who were there for me.”
A hospital spokesperson said: “Congratulations to Jacqueline, Philip on the arrival of their three beautiful boys, and thank you to everyone across our maternity, neonatal and transitional care teams who helped make this possible.
“MKUH is committed to providing safe, personalised and family-centred care. If you are expecting a baby, visit our website to learn how we can support you.”
